  1. Oh yeaaaah, I should have recalled that one! Man, that's a great song. Lots of good suggestions folks. Thanks! (I've seen the backwards talking midgets before too. They don't illicit quite the same reaction in my heart, but they've got their place.)
  2. I'm crazy about the backwards guitar bit on The Beatles' "I'm Only Sleeping." Where can I find this magical sound on other songs/albums (be they Beatles or otherwise)?
  3. I did the getting the 12 for a penny deal and then never fulfilling the agreement thing a few times too and so did half of the people I know. The selection really wasn't that great. It was usually stuff you could find in the used bin of a music store for $4 anyway. I recall enjoying looking through the catalog and all the little inserts though. You had to select what genre of music you liked and you got a catalog specific to that, right? That wasn't cool...what musical narrow-mindedness!
  4. I have two such messages, but they aren't there anymore. The messages are just blank. I vaguely remember what they were about. They weren't very friendly.
  5. Loved the movie. This is very disappointing.
  6. I won tickets to see Local H once by answering some trivia on the radio, but couldn't really go....I was like 12. And I won the Austin City Limits thing but couldn't make that either (too short notice.)
  7. Oh man, that almost made me barf. Why do you come to VC regularly? Habit What do you get out of coming here? Wilco updates, movie/book/music recommendations, and vibes/support from the nice folks. Plus, I think you're all pretty easy and if I ever needed to get laid, I could probably find tail. How did you get into VC? I found the key under the doormat. (Google, then a habit developed.) Do you consider yourself a Wilco fan, even if you hate AM/SBS/BT/MA/MA2/whichever album blew chunks? Yeah, but I confess I've been slacking on the listening lately. Wilco was my musical crutch through my
  8. I met a chick once who went so far as to name her kid Dylan, apparently after Bob, but she thought it was "Tangled Up and Blue." Jeeze, do some fact checking if you're so into it.
  9. "I'm Only Sleeping" and "Waterloo Sunset"
  10. What, you missed my Myspace blog about the Kiss video?!?! I'm so offended! You're going to mess around and get kicked off my friends, dude. I know the other song too because I got the Scout Niblett album to hear the Bonnie stuff. I don't really care for any of the songs on it without him. That Kiss song, aaaaaawwwww jeeze...it's magic, "let's kidnap each other," "my heart is charged now." Why can't dudes say things like that in real life? It would result in me instantly melting...maybe they don't say those things because they don't want liquid Loretta all over their shoes? Who knows...men ar
  11. It's out tomorrow but I got to see it early because the theater manager is in love with me.
  12. Watchmen - It was good, I think I'm going to watch it again.
  13. Double truth. Don't you need a wife for that to work?
  14. Man, I love this album. (Basia Bulat - Oh My Darling)
  15. I've bought and sold this book a few times and never cracked it. I've got one or two copies now, and I think I may finally read it. I'm intrigued!
  16. Holy crap. I have never cried so much during a movie as I did during this one (and I'm one of those people prone to crying during movies.) "Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father" It's streamable on Netflix for those of you who have accounts.
  17. I don't get how Via Chicago could be over rated? It's a great song, especially live. I would call it "over rated" if we were all petitioning to have it replace the national anthem or something, but I haven't seen it get any more credit than it's completely due.
  18. I've only read Chronicles, and I really liked it. That Bob Dylan is a good writer, who'd a thought?!
  19. I grew up in OKC and have fond memories of it. Most of my family still lives there and they're happy with it. As far as I know, things have only gotten better since I left, with the fancy downtown improvements and all.
  20. Any strong feelings seem to help push the art along, even if they're negative feelings like the immense sadness of depression. I don't think suffering is required to create art, but I think art can definitely be a nice side effect of suffering sometimes. And the art can help relieve the suffering sometimes too. Personally, I've been going through some negative stuff lately and today I felt inspired to color little rocket ships and animate them. I don't think feeling stepped on necessarily led to the rocket ship animation, but I can say the rockets have made me feel a little better...so that
  21. I get what he means, some songs or bands just get too much exposure, even if they are great (and Sabbath is great.)
  22. I might have mentioned this flick elsewhere on the board at some point because I've been obsessing over it for more than a year now, but it's officially out: Such Hawks Such Hounds (formerly known as, "Heavy: The Movie") It's fantastic...more glorious 70s influenced heavy stuff than you can shake a stick at. Plus, it's like porn for me because so many of the dudes are of the shaggy bearded variety and that sort of thing gets my lady-mojo rising. Buy it here: http://www.suchhawkssuchhounds.com/ Normally, I'd offer to rip my copy and up it to share, but I know they had a hard time getting th
  23. This may be completely useless, but I just noticed the files while I was scanning some other stuff so here goes... This is the first few pages of the article. They're just straight up scans in a .rar file. They may be completely usesless, but you're free to download them and see if they're viewable for ya. If they work and you can't live without reading the rest, I'll see what I can do in the scanning department (but I'll hate you for making me work that much ) or I can photocopy them and mail them to you (this is easier and preferred.) http://sharebee.com/e0a0c542 Let me know if you downl
